Competitive earnings

With our highly skilled people, large fleet and market insight we deliver competitive results to owners of bulkcarriers. Revenues are consistently benchmarked against official market indices. With Klaveness Commercial Management you never lose sight of your performance.


Individual risk profile

Do you want to operate in the spot market, or secure your earnings with a timecharter? It’s up to you. Klaveness Commercial Management offers a variety of risk and revenue profiles. You can change from one profile to another at any time. Klaveness Commercial Management is at your service to give advice.

 

You can choose from a comprehensive menu of services:

• Spot revenue
Your vessel is traded in a large pool of similar vessels, optimising earnings and reducing risk in the short-term freight market. Your revenue is a share of the pool’s total income and will be benchmarked against spot market indices.
• Fixed revenue
Your income is fixed as under a timecharter, giving you protection from a declining spot market. The unique advantage we offer is that agreements may cover parts of a period, and have exact durations from individual quarters up to several years. Forward delivery is also an option.
• Spot revenue with floor
Guarantees minimum earnings and full market upside. You continue to receive spot revenue less an agreed “insurance premium”, unless the result falls below an agreed floor.
• Spot revenue with collar
Gives protection against sharp market drops. You receive spot revenue unless the result of a given month falls below an agreed floor or rises above an agreed ceiling.

Ship owning simplified

We offer efficient operation of your vessel, fair treatment and timely payments. With economies of scale from a large operation, a professional organization and continuous investments in system support, we can ensure a high service level. You reduce your time spent dealing with tedious paperwork, rules and regulations and can focus on market opportunities.
